- echelon 6y agoSo when and how does the p2p / distributed pendulum swing back? When do we stop using AWS mainframes for everything? I sense that you're right about swings requiring change to older techniques. But I think there's also a component of being fed up with the direction things are currently facing.
- luxcem 6y agoUnfortunately p2p computing is hindered badly by the copyright industry. The research is still active and we have a lot of ideas for distributed computing and p2p for more than file exchange. A lot is used today to distribute a mainframe infrastructure instead of creating truely distributed network.
